Bio

Cindy is Licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania

Team Founder
It would be hard to beat Cindy with breadth of experience in real estate. Since becoming a full-time realtor in 1983, she has handled land and farm properties as well as every kind of residential sale from condos to multi-million dollar estate properties, which provides her with a comprehensive knowledge of all things real estate. In 1990 she founded Riley & Associates Realtors where she shone as a straight-talking mentor to other realtors and eventually grew the business to three offices with over thirty agents. In December 2019, she sold her company and was able to focus on her role as owner and agent with the Riley-Maher Team. Cindy’s contribution to real estate can be summed up in a word: generosity. As her clients and colleagues can attest, she is generous with her time, her wisdom, and her energy, resulting in a great experience and outcomes for clients.

“Cindy and the team were amazing to work with. Cindy's extensive knowledge was an incredible help during our 1.5-year housing search. She learns who you are and what you want, and then ends up knowing what you are looking for better than you do yourself at times!! Today we closed on the perfect home. THANK YOU to Cindy and the whole team! It wouldn't have happened without you!”

“Could not recommend working with Cindy and Jess more. It is clear that they both care for their clients as people, and work tirelessly to find people the best house for them. They were consistently responsive and always made themselves available for the numerous houses we wanted to tour each week. We trusted them wholeheartedly when discussing offer recommendations/strategy and with their opinions. Can confidently say we wouldn't have found our perfect first house without them, and we are so happy!”

“Cindy Riley is a professional, straight shooting agent with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry. She will thoroughly investigate, discover and point out every issue with a home--positive and negative--and undoubtedly spared me from making several bad investments based on her astute observations. She takes the time to learn what you are looking for in a home and neighborhood and truly advocates for your best interests, working tirelessly on your behalf. I am a first time home buyer with virtually no knowledge about real estate and Cindy patiently and expertly guided me through the entire process--and over the course of several years--until I finally found exactly the right house in the right location for me. Cindy works closely with another superb agent, Jessica Maher, and as a result you get two agents for the price of one: whenever Cindy couldn't get back to me right away, Jess did, and I felt incredibly well cared for through what would otherwise have been a rather stressful process. I come from a family full of lawyers and Cindy and Jess made sure to address all of their many concerns until even my many advisors were satisfied. If you are looking for agents who are not pushy or salesy and who will genuinely look after your best interests, then look no further: Cindy and Jess will take care of you as if you were part of their own family. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

"We used Barbara about 2 years ago to find our first home in Harford County. We worked with Barbara and she showed us quite a few houses all within our budget and wants in a home. Being new to the process, Barbara was great. At times, when we needed it, she held our hand sort to speak through the process and gave us information so we learned the process too. We would definitely recommend working wi… Read MoreRead Less

"Selling a property is no small feat, especially when you're over 1500 miles away. Enter David, our real estate agent, who transformed what could have been an impossible challenge into a great experience. David wasn't just a realtor to us; he was our project manager, our eyes and ears, and most importantly, our peace of mind. When we needed appliances installed, repairs overseen, and an open hou… Read MoreRead Less

"David sold us our first home in 35 days. This second time around it took us only 30 days. Going with him again was an easy decision because he is less interested in a commission and more interested in helping you find the right place for the right price. He listened to what we wanted and worked with us to get it. He negotiated with the seller in a way that was not cut throat, but respectful and pr… Read MoreRead Less
